WEBVTT JOHN: GOOD MORNING. WELCOME TO YOUR SUNDAY GARDENER. I'M JOHN COLLINS ALONG WITH CARRIE. I HAVE A PIECE OF PAPER HERE. IT HAS TO DO WITH PLANTING YOUR GARDEN. THERE ARE LOTS OF RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET FOR PLANTING YOUR GARDEN. CARRIE: ABSOLUTELY. THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL SITE. CALLED THE GROW IT AND EAT IT CAMPAIGN. JOHN: IF YOU SEARCH FOR THE UNIVERSITY AND GROW AND EAT IT CAMPAIGN. CARRIE: LOOK AT SOME OF THE WEB SITES. WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT PLANNING YOUR GARDEN. IT IS GREAT TO BUY PLANTS. IF YOU ARE LIKE I AM, I WANT TO PLANT WAY MORE THAN I HAVE ROOM FOR. JOHN: YOUR EYES ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR STOMACH. OKAY. WHAT DO WE DO HERE? WE WANT TO BE IN THE SUN. CARRIE: YUP. AWAY FROM FREES AND ROOTS. I'VE MADE THE MISTAKES. I CAN SPEAK WELL. MY ORIGINAL GARDEN I HAD FOUR, FOUR BY EIGHT BOXES. FULL SUN. IT WORKED OUT GREAT. I HAD TO MOVE THEM. I WASN'T GARDENING ON MY PROPERTY. WHEN I STARTED GARDENING ON MY PROPERTY, I DID GO NEAR TREES. LITTLE BY LITTLE I HAD SHADE ISSUES AND ROOT ISSUES. JOHN: OVER TIME THE TREES GET BIGGER TOO. >> OTHER TIPS. THIS IS A 12 BY 20 NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. I USE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, AND FOUR FEET ACROSS. I DON'T LIKE GETTING MUCH BIGGER. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO REACH IN AND REACH OUT. RHUBARB AND ASPARAGUS, THEY HAVE TO BE IN A BED BY THEMSELVES. YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THEM. JOHN: YOU JUST NEED TO WEED. CARRIE: YOU WANT YOUR GARDEN TO BE FULL SUN. SOME OF YOUR TOMATOES WILL HAVE TO GO TOWARD THE BACK. YOU CAN GROW SOMER YOUR LETTUCES AND THINGS. JUST SORT OF PLOT IT OUT. LEAVE ROOMS TO GET IN THERE. IN GENERAL THE FOUR BY EIGHT WORKS OUT REALLY WELL. OTHER PEOPLE -- BILLY FORD, HIS GARDEN IS HUMONGOUS. JOHN: RIGHT. IF YOU ARE USING SEED PACKETS, LOOK AT THE SPACING AND HOW TALL THEY GET AND WHATNOT. GIVES YOU THE WHOLE IDEA THERE. CARRIE: THIS IS GREAT. IT DOES TELL YOU THAT YOU WANT YOUR ARTICHOKES FIVE FEET APART. ONIONS CAN GO REALLY, REALLY CLOSE AND RADISHES. JOHN: YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THIS SHEET. THE INTERNET HAS LOTS OF STUFF. LOOK UP RADISHES. IT WILL TELL YOU. YOU'LL FIND THE INFORMATION. CARRIE: EXACTLY. JOHN: PLANNING. NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT. IT IS STILL WINTER TIME. CARRIE: KEEP IT GOING. JOHN: YOU WORK ON THE REST OF THE FORWARDEN. I'LL DO THE DREAMING. NEXT SUNDAY WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE. JENNIFER: IF YOU HAVE A GARDEN QUESTION
